lRONlNG-BOARD AND TABLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 409,947, dated August 2'7, 1889.

Application filed Ilia 20,1889. Serial No. 311,398. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, DAVID FETTERs, a citizen of the United States, residing at Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Combination Ironing Board and Table, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a combined ironing-board and stand or table, whereby two separate articles are used co-operatively, as hereinafter set forth.

In the drawings herewith, Figure 1 is a side view of the stand and board combined. Fig. 2 shows the bottom side of the board. Figs. 3 and 4 show side and end views, respectively, of the stand.

The ironing-board Ahas on its bottom two fixed hooks l) and a staple c, and the stand D has a leg e at each end, which is provided with a cross-bar foot f, having a cut-away center g. A cross-bar his below each end of the stand-top, and a swivel-hook i is in the cutaway part of the foot.

To use the two articles co-operatively, as shown in Fig. 1, the stand must be turned on its sidethatis, with the top D in a vertical position and one leg 6 resting lengthwise on the floor. The ironing-board A is then to be placed on top of the other leg, and will rest thereon and also on the foot f and crossbar 71.. Thus the board will have proper and sufficient support. \Vhile in this position the board A will be confined .to the stand by the two fixed hooks b on the board taking under the cross-bar h on the stand, and the staple c on the board will take over the swivel-hook 71 on the footof the stand. When the swivelhook i is turned, as seen in Fig. 1, it so engages as to prevent the parts from becoming disconnected. WVhen the two parts are not used co-operatively, the stand is to be set upright on its feet, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, and thus is a useful article of furniture.

Having described my invention, I claim 1. The combination of the ironing-board A, having two fixed hooks b and a staple c, and a stand having a cross-bar h below the end of the top and a swivel-hook 'L' at the foot.

2. The combination of a stand D, having a I DAVID FETTERS.
